Recently in the blogs of developers programming language D and its reference compiler dmd was reported that the D2 branch will soon be frozen and no further changes will be made other than correcting significant and repetitive mistakes. In owls main developer Walter Bright’s D is due to the fact that D2 had become too stable and make it new properties is dangerous. Another developer — a famous programmer Andrei Alexandrescu expressed concern about the fact that the quality of the implementation of D2 in dmd has reached a level where it can be used for specific application projects. According to the authors of both the above problems are insurmountable obstacle to the implementation in D2 of new, more advanced concepts and innovative ideas.

Google has released a new version of Android software development kit for r17 brings among other things, a much faster emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X as well as real-time network statistics.

The new SDK puts an end to the rather sluggish Android emulator and emulation now supports hardware-accelerated on computers with a corresponding CPU. Supports are Windows, Mac and Linux for Intel CPUs with Intel VT extension. The virtualization technology from AMD processors (AMD-V, SVM) can currently only use Linux for the optimization of the Android emulator. The setup is quite complicated, but on developer.android.com described in great detail . Also note that the acceleration only for machines with Android 2.3 or later works, but not for version 2.2 or older.

Rc6 is quite clear. The largest change is a correction for the swim3 old driver, who drives Floppy drives the old PowerMacs. The i915 driver for Intel graphics was considered in addition to bug fixes and small improvements. So for the chipset and Sandy Bridge Ivybridge generations now active RC6, which may allow the graphics unit has a lower energy intake. In addition, the code for supporting the DisplayPort summarized below and Cougarpoint Ivybridge. btrfs also stands out, here primarily problems were eliminated.

Port for Unix came a year after the first release, this time the name was changed interpretation of the project with Vi IMitation on Vi IMproved.
